CIGAR--MAKNGr MACHINE.

Application filed November 16, 1906.

T all whom it may concern Be it known that We, FVILLARD C. Linn and .loi-1N YV. Conen'rni, of Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State ot New York, have invented a certain new and useful Cigar-lllalring Machine, ot which the following is a specification.

Qur invention has for its object the production or" va cigar-making machine Which is particularly simple and economical in manufacture, and highly eicient and durable in use; and to this end it consists in the novel combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

ln describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying .drawing in Which lik characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a perspective vieu' or' one eX- empliication ci our invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view, partly in elevation, or" a portion cil the machine. Fig. 3 is a plan of one side thereof, the hopper for such side being removed and indicated by dotted lines. Fig. Ll is a plan et' one of the hoppers, and a contiguous supporting standard. Fig. 5 is a plan, partly brolren away, of one ot the liller-conveyers, and a portion of its actuating means. Figs. 6 and 7 are sectional vieivs, partly in elevation, on line AHA, Fig. 5, illustrating the tiller-conveyer in different positions. 3 is a sectional viev?, partly broken aivay, oil the plunger of one of the filler-convey 9 is a sectional vieiv, on line i3-3, Fig. Figs. 10 and 11 are inverted plans ot detached parts of said actuating means. Fig. 12 is a plan, parts being removed, ot a rolling mecha nism, a vvrapper-controllei", a binder-engaging means. and adiaccnt parts. Figs. 13 and 11i are elevations, partly broken awa-y and in section, of the mechanism seen in ig. 12. additional means being also shown.

Fig. 20 is a detail elevation. partly in section, of a portion or" the actuating means tor a rolling mechanism and a Wrapper-controller, and adjacent .pai-ts. Fi g. 21 is an elevation of a part ot' a Wrapper-controller.

the frame. Fig. 23 is a sectional View, on line D-l, Fig. 22. Fig. 24 is an enlarged vieiv, partly broken away, of a heading mechanism, and portions or" the driving element and the frame. Figs. 25 and 26 are, respectively, plan, and elevation, partly in section, of a part of the mechanism seen in Fig. 24. Fig. 27 is an elevation of a portion of a heading mechanism, and contiguous parts. Figs. 28 and 29 are enlarged detail elevations, partly in section, of a thimble, and coacting parts. Figs. 30 and 31 are opposing tace views, partly brolfen away, of the sections of said thimble, and adjacent parts. Figs. 32 and 33 are sectional vieivs, partly in elevation, on line .l-Fi, Fig. 24, looking in opposite directions. Fig. 3l is sectional view, on line FHF, Fig. 33. Fig. 35 is a detail elevation, partly in section, of portions ot' a heading mechanism and the frame. Fig. 36 is a sectional view, partly in elevation, on line G-G, Fig. 3. Fig. 37 is an elevation, partly in section, of

portion ot1 the means for controlling the oLA eration of one of the heading mechanisms, and contiguous darts. Figs. 38 and 39 are detail views showing the method of cutting the `Wrapper. Fig. 40 is a sectional vien7 of the reservoir for the paste.

rlhe illustrated embodiment oic this invention comprises a frame, actuating means including a single driving element, and rightand left-hand independently-operating hopper-s, iller-conveyers, rolling mechanisms, `Wrapper-controllers and heading mechanisms. Said rightand lett-hand devices are preferably employed, since in making ci gars the Wrappers formed from the opposite halves of tobacco leaves must be rolled in reverse directions, hut it is obvious that one of the hoppers, and the corresponding iiller-conveyer, rolling mechanism, Wrapper-controller, and heading mechanism may be dispensed with. It is also obvious that the hopper-s may he omitted and the fillers delivered by hand to the-rolling mechanisms.

The :trame 1, Fig. 1, may be of any desirable orm, size and construction, and as here shown, comprises a base 2, an upright hollow body 3, and a shelf l supported by the body 3.

ln the preferable construction of this machine, the actuating means comprises a single driving element which includes three horizontal shafts 5, 6 and 7, Figs. 2 and 3, supported by the frame 1. The shaft 5, Fig. 3, extends forwardly from the rear of the machine, terminates at its forward end within the hollow body 3 of the vframe 1, and is suitably supportedv by the'body 3 and the rear part 8 of the shelf 4. Said shaft 5 is provided at its inner, or forward, end with a lworm 9, Fig. 2 and at its outer, or rear, end with a pulley-wheel 10, Fig. 3, which may be driven by any desirable means, not illustrated. The shaft 6 is arranged at substantially a right angle to the shaft 5, and is ournaled at its central portion in a bearing 11, Figs. 3 and 36, in .a casing 12 on the rear part 8 of the shelf 4, and at its ends in bearings 13, Fig. 3, on said rear part 8. The portion of the shaft 6 within thecasing 12, Fig. 36, is provided with a disk 14 which frictionally engages a wormfgear 15 loosely worm-gear 15 and worm 16 constitute means Y for fricticnally connecting the shafts 5 and 6. The ends of the shaft 6 are provided with any suitable means, as ratchet-wheels 17,

from which power is transmitted to the heading mechanisms. Owingto the frictional connection of the shafts 5 and 6, either, orboth, of the heading mechanisms may be held, or prevented, from operation without stopping the rotation of the shaft 5, or causing breakage of theparts.A The shaft 7, Fig. 2, is arranged substantially parallel to the shaft 6, is supported in bearings 18 in the side walls of the bodyV 3 of the frame 1, and 'is provided' at its central portion with a worm-gear 19 meshing with the worm 9 on the shaft 5,' and at its ends with any desirablemeanatas ratchet-wheels 20, Fig. 13, from whichV power is transmitted to the hoppers, filler-conveyers, rolling-mechanisms, and wrapper-controllers. Although the described single driving element including the shafts 5, 6 and 7 is particularly applicable for usev with the remaining parts of our machine, it is apparent that any other suitable driving means may be substituted therefor.

Each hopper, Figs. 2 and 4, preferably comprises a stationary basea movable wall, a movable member, and a stationary agitator. The base 21 is substantially circular, is fixed to the upper portion of the body 3 of the frame 1, and is formed with a dischargepassage 22 opening through the top and the periphery, or vertical edge, of said base. Arranged within the passage 22 is a vertically-adjustable piece or gage 23, Fig. 2,

which is heldin ypositiony by a set-screw 24, and is provided with ka face 25 inclining outwardly and downwardly from the interior ofthehopper toward the lower portion of theV movable wall, presently described, and

toward the exit end of the passage 22. Thel mevable Wall 26 is ylfndral., and. .is revoluthe discharge-passage.

1nv the preferable construction of the hopper,the movable member 28 is journaled in an upright bearing 29 concentric with, and fixed at its upper end to theV base 21 and mounted on and rising from the top plate of the body 3 of the frame 1, 'and said meme ber 28 is revoluble about an axis substanh tially coincident with that of the movable mounted on said shaft' and coacting with a worm 16 on the shaft 5. Said disk 14,`

Said member 28 and wall26 make a com-V .plete revolution upon each operation of the machine, and during such revolution fthe arms31 move successively above the inlet of the discharge passage 22 in a plane Vintersecting a line .coincident with Vthe axisvof said inlet and thus force thefiller into position to feed into the discharge-passage 22.

asthe arms 31 rotate, they tend `to raise somewhat, and loosen, the filler directly Upon Vreaching' the limit of each rotation, the part 32'of-0-ne of the arms 31 registersl with the inlet ofthe dischargepassage 22, and thus serves to intermittently close such inlet. Simultaneously with the closing of said inlet', the opening 27 in the wall 26 registers withthe outlet or exit end of the discharge-passage 22, thus The advance porpermitting the ller measured within said
